Example: Successfully Awarding a Token

Summary

This demonstrates successfully awarding a token to a user.

Request 

profile: http://{client}.api.promo.eprize.com/v1/{apikey}/profile/{uid}

Response

HTTP Status Code: 201 Created

HTTP Redirect Location: /v1/{apikey}/game/{game}/token/{token} 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<result ver="ePrize Web Services 1.0">
  <token>
    <id>{token}</id>
    <profile>{profile}</profile>
    <game>{game}</game>
    <redeemed>false</redeemed>
  </token>
</result>

Notes

The {profile} value that is seen in the request and response of this call is the canonical URL of the profile that the token should be awarded to.

This URL can be easily attacked by the owner of a profile because the owner knows his own canonical profile URL. Award limits create an upper bound on the attack damage.

Example: Awarding Token to Invalid Profile

Summary

This demonstrates attempting to award a token to a profile resource that doesn't exist.

Request 

profile: foo

Response

HTTP Status Code: 400 Bad Request 


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result ver="ePrize Web Services 1.0">
  <result>Unable to validate the provided profile.</result>
  <status>0</status>
</result>


Example: Awarding Token to a Limited Profile

Summary

This demonstrates attempting to overaward tokens to a user. For example, the promotion is setup to give out 3 tokens per day per user, and this would be a users 4th attempt in one day.


Response

HTTP Status Code: 403 Forbidden 


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result ver="ePrize Web Services 1.0">
</result>
